..last week's fun..

This week it was really difficult to get back to the routine.  We drove back from Ohio Sunday.  Fourteen hours in a car was definitely hard on the bum.  And after a week of having to get up at a decent hour to get back to work, I was having a hard time getting around to sifting through and editing all the photos we took on our trip. 
Today has actually been quite a productive day.  I caught up on some much needed sleep, then got up and took some outfit pics which will probably go up later on, then I worked out in the garden until the sun went down while intermittently chasing down my cat who desperately wants to catch himself a cute little bunny.
Well, I finally compiled some of the pictures we took one day when we went into Frankfort.  We went to the local Amish Market.  I love that place! Mike was picture happy.  We got some dry goods and snacks to take home, then Mike got some bacon cut from slab while I got us some made to order sandwiches. We drove downtown to the little park by the creek to eat and waste some time. When we made made our way back to the house we had to stop and look at the adorable tiny lambs. I can see why Lisa Simpson went vegetarian after she saw one. They were actually cute enough to make me squeal a little with glee :)
 I recommend the Mustard Pickled Eggs, Mmmm.

So many sheep, makes me sleepy.

..sunny days in Ohio..

After the rainy weekend that wrecked havok on most of the middle of America, it was nice to see some sunshine.  Mike and I have been visiting his family in Ohio this week and though we are in small town central, we have been able to find some interesting things to do.  Tuesday, we went for a drive in search of one of the many Amish markets in the area.  The one we were in search of was one we had never been to, outside of a town called Bourneville.  Mike couldn't resist getting a picture with the horse and buggy that was pulling in with a cartload of traditionally dressed, straw hat and bonnet bearing kids.
After we picked up some goodies at the market, we stopped at the Seip Mound State Memorial and hiked around a bit.  There were a lot of lovely wild flowers in bloom and they had the pathways pleasantly mowed.  I was really nice!
Then the next day we took a little hike down the road to the creek, with Mike's childhood friend, Forrest.  We treked through the woods and found a couple of spots where the guys could try to catch some fish.  I just wondered around looking for photogenic flowers and rocks :)
